Black Forest Cake Recipe

If you are looking for an easy cake recipe, look no further! I made this Black Forest Cake for my in-law’s anniversary. This cake is not only delicious, it’s also easy.

It was my in law’s 43rd anniversary last week and we had the hardest time coming up with something to get for them. It’s not easy to get a gift for someone who has everything already. Finally, hubby suggested that I bake them a cake. It was a perfect idea because they love cake and they can share a special dessert all week. I mentioned above that it’s an easy cake. Don’t be scared by all the ingredients and steps, it really is an easy cake! All you have to do is whisk the ingredients together, bake, frost and cover in chocolate flakes. That’s it and you get a soft, moist cherry chocolate cake! The flavor is also amazing, it really tastes like chocolate covered cherry. Something about the cherry coke syrup and almond extract mixed together is what gives it that special flavor. I learned this trick while baking the Red Velvet Cake Roll.

It looks amazing! I am baking it right now, but I added 2 eggs, the recipe does not call for eggs, I got worry that perhaps it was a missprint. I hope it turns out as good as yours. Thank you for the recipe.

Hi Sandra! Hmmm, you can try one of those syrups they sell for at-home soda machines. Or you can try finding cherry extract but remember to compensate for the amount of syrup taken away from ingredients.
